Today we're announcing that OpenAI will acquire Pierre Computer Company, Inc(opens in a new window). (“Pierre”), the company behind Code Storage(opens in a new window) and a family of standout open-source developer tools. If you’ve browsed files or reviewed a change in the Codex app, you’ve already used Pierre’s Trees and Diffs libraries. We’re excited to work with the Pierre team to build on the Git workflows that developers already rely on and adapt them to how teams work with coding agents.
We’ve seen in our own engineering work how the systems around Git need to evolve as more of that work happens in parallel. Earlier this week, we shared how we’re scaling Git at OpenAI with Pando, our in-house source control backend for engineers and agents. With the Pierre team, we wish to set the standard for modern software development: from the first branch an agent creates to that magic moment when code is deployed to the world. We want to make Codex the place where developers and agents take on their most ambitious projects.
We’ve long appreciated the care Pierre brings to another part of working with Git: how developers review code. You can see that care in the libraries we use in Codex today. Trees lets developers quickly navigate a project’s files, and Diffs makes it easy to see what changed. Both of these tools make it easy to review and navigate large volumes of code with uncompromising performance.
